The ceremony Is not one from which any evil could possibly be set forth, and the most sacred religious ordinance, the sacrament, wh.ch the world commemorates with the deepest solemnity and honor. Is one In which wine Is used a s symbol. Therefore I dlsml.i the object a one unworthy of so much agitation. If left to me, the battleship Illinois will be christened according to the time-honored custom." 'PHILIPPINE ISLANDERS DEMAND HIGHER WAGES Cigar-Maker. Catch tha American Mea . .... .

In the meantime sanitary conditions are so bad in some districts that there Is a serious fear of an epidemic. I The north of London Is also suffering under undeserved martyrdom in the I shnne of a street car famine due to a sirlke of the hostlers and to thu conse jquent dismissal of a couple of agitators. Tho many thousands of business houses sympathy Inclines to the side of the com pany, which has taken the bull by the horns and has dismissed all tho strikers, engaging outsiders to take the places of the strikers. Tho whole of Great Britain has been startled by an epidemic of railroad out rages. On the Northwestern and Midland Railroad In the neighborhood of North ampton, there have been several at tempt to wreck peeriger train. For midable obstruction, were constructed aero the track and one expres. train had a most narrow escape from disaster. It ploughed through a veritable barricade, but did not leave the rails. The most alarming feature of the outrage 1. that the police have ben unable to obtain the slightest clue to the perpetrator, though a hundred detectives have been scouring the district. Consequently a panic pre vail. One theory Is that the crime, are the work of a band of robber, looking for plunder and emulating the far west holdups. After passing eight weeks In an Inval id's chair the Prince of Wales this week, for the- first time, was ab.e to walk a few step with the aid of a stick. He traveled to Balmoral from bis yacht to forU- mouth. Private letters declare that the prince has lately been very irritable at the enforced restraint, that he ha. even declared that a permanent limp would be a cheap penalty to pay for release from hla floating pr.son. It I added that the attending physicians Anally yielded and allowed the prince to Journey to Scotland in order to appease their patient and also to arrest the strong stimulus which rest and sea. air appetite had given to hi.

The Duke of Connaught has been the hero of the French army manoeuver. at Moullne, which be attended a President Faure'a chiet gue.1. He first dlstin gulshed himself by a splendid display of horsemanship before the French ataS. when a borrowed horse, startled by the firing, tried to bolt, reared and fell The duke skillfully disengaged himself un hurt The following day dur.ng a halt be minutely examined a French soldier' knapsack. He had one of them emptied on the ground, weighed the article and finally took tha knapsack, (trapped It on his own ihoulders and walked up and down In front of the president and the general in order to test whether the straps hampered his movements. The spectators were greatly amused and the private soldiers loudly cheered him. Yesterday the Duke of Connaught vis ited the French camp kitchen and fol lowed the great Napoleon's precedent, he asked to be allowed to taste the sol dier's food, remarking: "I must take only a tiny morsel, as I am robbing somebody's share." Then he forked out and ate a piece of beef, which he pronounced to be of excellent quality. The duke also examined the men's over coats, testing their weight and texture. The Incidents have made the duke very popular among the French solulers and villagers. At the hamlet of Ennomond they had a great treat In seeing the th.rsty presi dent of the republic and Queen Victoria's son stop before a little public hall and call for and toss off glasses of light beer, while the hurriedly assembled taiU played "God Save the Queen." President Faure then decorated the duke with the cross of the Legion of Honor. The leading newspapers here scathing ly review Herr Mortti Busch's life of Prince Bismarck, which was recently published. The general opinion Is that both the author and Its Idol suffered by the general revelations made. The British, naturally, chiefly resent the late Prince Bismarck's expressions ot hostility to Great Britain and to tlu queen and her daughter, the former Em press Frederick of Germany, with which the book teems. The Dally Telegraph says that If the work reveals the real Bismarck, he low ered the moral tone of the whole of Eur ope, adding: o-i , r" lou. use o Hcrr Buacl ne knows he made unserupu- f the press: but according to Busch, he deliberately instructed his hireling to disseminate about falsehoods." The Times remarks: "It was reserved to the sublime uncon sciousness of one of his slncerest wor shippers to expose all the meanness, du plicity and brutality which he combined with so many admirable qualities." A photograph of tha czarina nursing her baby recently appeared in an English newspaper, and when it reached the Rus sian censor, the latter was a much pux iled official. Ho .consulted with the min ister of the Interior, who wus equally perplexed, mid then decided to consult with tho cxar. "The best thing I can do," said the Russian emperor, "Is to show U to the czarina and let her decide." In a few minutes, according ' to the story, the czar returned and said with a smile to the mlhlster of the interior: "Her Imperial majesty finds nothing In the picture contrary" to the law.

PROPOSED HONG KONO HANKOW RAILROAD LINE. Syndicate of American Capitalists Will Build the Road. Which Will Cost H.ooo.ooo.- NEW YORK. Sept. 17.-Regardlng in. proposed railroad to be constructed from Hankow to Hong Kong, China, by aa American syndicate, ex-Senator Calvin It. Brice said to a Tribune reporter: Tb American syndicate ha now on hand oa the property a part of It engineer ing force and la sending rapidly a. it can be equipped, a corp. of engineer, and other officials, who will make the sur veying, beginning at Hankow and extend ing to the city of Canton and thence t Hong Kong. There are in the syndicate seven representative, of the VanderbiU interests and three of the Standard Oil Company, John D. Rockefeller, WUdana Rockefeller, and the president of one or the largest banks, also the president ot several of our large trust companlnea. Levi P. Morton. George T. Bliss, and tha officials of the Carnegie Steel Company. Our best opinion Is that it will cost be tween $30,000,000 and $40,000,000. The syndi cate will undoubtedly control the road for a period of four or five years, during which it is subject to negotiation, which may change tts character. The province, through which the road will pass are the most populous In China, having a popula tion of 300.000.0CO. BRICK BUILDING COLLAPSES. BUTTE. Sept. 17.
